OUR ANNUAL EVENT IS ON!
Register and pay now to take advantage of our great Early Bird ticket price!
This annual event is an all-inclusive event for sailors of all ages and abilities including windsurfers, foilers and wing foilers. We run a small sailing course, closer to shore for our Bronze Fleet windsurfers (learners) and bigger courses further off-shore for Silver and Gold Fleet sailors. Plus we will run a separate shorter course for our wing foilers.
We will have slalom races (fin, foil and wing), timed races (30min & 60 min), team relay racing, the Matakana Blast, a Gybe-Off and light wind match racing, all dependant on the conditions we get each day.

General Rules
All racers must display unique number/symbol on their sails (tape will be supplied) and if you do not have an official WNZ number then we will assign you something at registration.
All entrants must be competent sailors in the prevailing conditions and be able to water start (Silver/Gold) or uphaul (Bronze) confidently.
Give way rules to be understood and followed (recapped during race briefing). If you are unsure of your rights then Give Way!!!!
This event is all about fun and laughs. If you have never raced before then don’t worry, it’s going to be very light hearted. Gold fleet will race hard and they know the rules anyway. Silver fleet roughly the same, just not quite got the pace to be Gold. Bronze is for those that are not on slalom gear or are not confident at racing yet. All Fleets, just be sensible and give way to avoid contact.
Race format and starting procedure to be covered during race briefing.
The Race officer’s decision is final, their decisions are based purely on safety, fun and encouraging participation.
